THE NEW YORKER able aid that music gives. Under more favorable circumstances there might be further impressive results. This version of the tale has the devil making a wager with God that he can gain the soul of Faust. He plagues a town with the Black Death and barters with Faust for his soul in exchange for a cure to help the dying inhabitants of the place. Then comes that little affair with Marguerite. The death of her baby is due to the elements and not to any action on her part, and she is put on a pile of fag- gots, is roasted with a very repentant Faust, and the devil loses his bet. Emil J annings is a satisfactory M e- phisto and Gosta Ekman is very good in the title part. Marguerite is played by Camilla Horn, a handsome and capable young lady. The settings are effective, but there is not much of the excellent employment of the cam- era that we have learnt to expect from the Germans. <e M ICHAEL STROGOFF", at the . George M.

The amount of land that lies between those two points is appalling, and it was all cluttered up by ravaging Tartars at that time. Michael had a lot of adventures and misfortunes on his trip, and his final arrival at Irkutsk did not seem to prove anything much. It did give a chance for him and the villain to battle each other in a stern and amaz- ing way that was more than usually stirring. The high points of the picture come during those moments when the Tar- tars are present at work and at play. They are the authentic article and are beyond doubt the roughest looking collection of gents ever gathered to- gether, and their actions are all be- fittIng. They take the hero, just after his mother has gummed up the works, and put out his eyes in a manner that is painful to watch, they kill Russians of all ages and sexes in a deplorably :J 'Yij r -:- - - - ......." ./ 95 .
